Work are chucking out a “Cisco 887VA-M” integrated services router.
Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?
I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

No, Cisco uses their own silicon in that unit which means things like Tomato or Wrtt(?) Won’t load onto it.
Best you can do is take it to an ewaste or sell it to a second hand Cisco reseller for maybe €75 if you are lucky.
With enough time and motivation it’s probably possible, but that holds for many things.
